Floyd Mayweather, Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao, billed as The Fight of the Century, is an upcoming boxing match between eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao and undefeated, five-division world champion Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Despite predictions that Mayweather–Pacquiao would be the highest
grossing fight in history as early as 2009, disagreements between the
two boxers' camps on terms for the fight prevented the bout from coming
to fruition until 2015.

The failure to make the Mayweather–Pacquiao fight was named The Ring magazine Event of the Year for 2010.
However, negotiations for the superfight in 2015 have since been finalized, with all of the major issues that have prevented the fight from happening in the past now resolved, including purse split, drug testing, and location of the bout. On February 20, 2015, Mayweather confirmed on social media that the fight had indeed been signed by himself as Pacquiao already had signed the contract of the fight previously and the contract itself was with Mayweather on that day. The contest was agreed to be held on May 2, 2015
